Council

Ordinary meetings of the Council are held on the third Monday of each month commencing at 6.30pm. Members of the public are welcome to attend.

Meetings are held in the Council Chamber, Redbanks Road, Mallala. Special meetings are called as required.

One of the most important functions undertaken by Council Members is attending council meetings and participating in the decision-making process.

Decisions made at a formal council meeting provide the direction and authority for the Council's ongoing operations. These decisions give direction to the Chief Executive Officer and are implemented by Council staff.

Meetings also allow the Council Members to decide the Council's policy direction and make decisions on other statutory matters.

Council is a corporate body and can only make decisions by resolution. This means a motion must to be put to a properly-convened meeting and can only be passed by a majority vote. With the exception of the Mayor, who chairs the meeting, all members present at a council meeting vote on every motion put to the meeting. The Mayor has a casting vote only if the voting is tied.
